 Bruce Josten, chief lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said on Fox News Sunday that that Barack Obama had backtracked on his campaign promise to change the tone in Washington when the White House upped its criticism of the Chamber.
"I don't know where the name-calling came from," Josten said.
| President Obama's mouth, presumably. |
"We're not going to play the game of name-calling back-and-forth," Josten said in the interview.
| No, indeed. May I suggest you continue matching name calling with devastating facts -- so much more effective, I've always thought. |
Noting that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel would soon be addressing the group, Josten suggested that both sides were trying to move on from the rift. |
